-i<dirs> reverses <dirs>
The GHC 5.0 documentation (section 4.9.2) claims that
-i<dirs> `prepends a colon-separated list of dirs to
the "import directories" list', but it doesn't mention
that the <dirs> list is reversed before prepending.
So, for instance, if I specify
-I.:SomeDir
then SomeDir is searched before the cwd is, which
matters when they contain files with the same name. I
found this a bit counterintuitive. The attached
tarball gives an example.
